[Q] Folders in res/raw don't get added to the APK? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can add files to my APK by placing them in the res/raw folder. However, folders in this directory with files of their own do not appear to get packed into the APK file. Is there any way I can add these, or just it only allow one level of files?

Vlingo widget doesn't work after modifying image

Hi all,
I've modified the background and button images for the Vlingo widget, re-signed the apk, and installed. The application itself works great, and the widget shows on the screen, but nothing happens on press. Could this be because I deleted the original META_INF folder (the re-sign batch re-creates that)? Not sure what else could be causing this.
Process:
Download fresh copy of Vlingo.
Pull the apk to my PC.
Extract contents to folder.
Modify appropriate images.
Zip all files back up.
Rename to .apk.
Use sign batch file, which creates another .apk.
Rename that new .apk to com.vlingo.client.apk.
Use adb to install the new apk.

[q] [other] how to move a picture through folders?

Hi chaps,
I was wondering how do I move a picture from a folder to another. I sent myself a pic through bluetooth and now when I got to gallery there's a folder called Bluetooth - I want to delete this folder and send the picture to a different folder.
Any thoughts?
DFN
using my file or file explorer or what ever your app is named.
copy and paste the picture to the folder you want.
delete folder you do not want.
I meant these folders (see attached)
you should still be able to deete subfolders from the pictures or image folder file using my files.

[Q] Decompiling APK's with renaming

Can you decompile APK with just renameing it to the ZIP or RAR files.
Then you can extract it and you get all the files inside the apk.
then you can edit xml files and simply rename it back to APK.
I was just wondering is this right and safe way or you shouldn't decompile it like that?

[Q] Modifying APK question

I have attempted numerous times to change the Online, Offline, Away, and Busy presence files in the Google Talk app. This images are located in the assets folder. Although I replace them, recompile and resign, my modified images do not show. I still see the original images. If I view the contents of the APK, they are there in the assets folder. Am I missing something?

[Q] Choose Specific App Install Path

Hi
I'm trying to move my security software apk file to the /system/app folder to make it hard reset proof. I renamed the original apk which is in the /data/app folder. I then copied the file to the /system/app folder and renamed it to the original filename. I then installed the apk, chose replace. What happend was that the app created another apk in the /data/app folder this time with a "2" behind it.
I'm guessing the apk has code in it that tells it to install there. So what I was wondering, can I set a specific default install directory, install the apk and then return it to default?
or
Where do the file go after the apk is ran, the program isn't ran by the apk because when you try and run it, it just asks to install it, not open the program. Could I move the actual app files and edit the install path in where the os stores the list of installed apps and there paths (where ever that is?)?.
